Bennett gives me the creeps. Like evil personified.
Naftali Bennett, the former Israeli Prime Minister, stated that the children's COVID-19 vaccine is safe and emphasized that vaccinating children is a parental responsibility.
Then their toxxine poster boy Yonatan Erlichman had a heart attack at age 8.
“President Trump has answered thousands of questions about Epstein, but Bill Clinton hasn’t answered any,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) explained to reporters yesterday. “But Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president.” The Committee had subpoenaed Clinton’s testimony and, after much backroom wrangling, former president Bill Clinton flat refused to appear and testify yesterday.
Chairman Comer has vowed to pursue contempt charges.
Hillary’s testimony is scheduled for today. One does not wish to make predictions, but the smart money is on “no show.” After all, Hillary might have a conflict, like a Harvard commencement speech or a spa treatment involving an infant blood bath, which, as you can imagine, is often hard to reschedule.
In the traditional playbook, the next step is to threaten the witness with contempt (check), followed by more backroom wrangling between the lawyers to negotiate a compromise, such as an unsworn or closed-session Zoom interview rather than an in-person deposition. Whether the Committee will stand on principle remains to be seen. Contempt would require a Committee vote, followed by a full House vote, and then referral to the DOJ for prosecution.
The useless Times article devoted most of its column inches to credulously quoting the Clintons’ self-serving 8-page letter, which they sent instead of appearing to testify. This would have been a great opportunity for the Times to round up Clinton’s Epstein connections —the photos alone are priceless for media engagement— but nope. Hope you weren’t holding your breath.
The hearing was a nonstarter, but the politics are hard to adequately describe. For one thing, compelling a former president to testify in a congressional committee hearing —in a case with potential criminal consequences— is pretty much unheard of. The handful of historical examples all fizzled out before they went anywhere, and not since 1953 has Congress even tried. The fact that none of the media reports focused on this transgression of “norms and customs” shows you how profoundly the Trump prosecutions have moved the needle and created a “new normal.”
Remember: No one is above the law. Former presidents are on the menu.
Second, neither would this be politically possible without the Democrats’ full-court press to transform the Epstein saga into the next Watergate. So the fact that the Clintons are currently dealing with serious legal issues —instead of rubbing elbows with fawning celebrities and giving overpriced speeches to progressive groups— is another self-inflicted injury.
Prince Andrew was just stripped of all his remaining titles, turned out of his Royal Mansion, etc. in the past few months.
If the globohomo puppet Democrats and RINOs hadn't gone full retard with illegal prosecution of Trump, they would have nothing to worry about. But no, they had to go there.
Fair enough, let's see how well they dance when the shoe's on the other foot.

Why is the act of putting the said shoe on the said foot is being dragged out for a full year already?

Because it enjoys being called an election promise-breaking asshole while midterms are approaching like a freight train? Cats are weird.

I find it hilarious that you're angry at slow walking - isn't that what your namesake is famous for?
Justice Department says members of Congress can’t intervene in release of Epstein files
The U.S. Attorney said a judge lacks authority to appoint a neutral expert to oversee the public release of documents in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.
Two members of Congress expressed concerns about the slow release of documents related to the Epstein case and requested an independent monitor be appointed.




Jeffrey Epstein Aided Alan Dershowitz’s Attack on Mearsheimer and Walt’s “Israel Lobby”
Epstein and Alan Dershowitz collaborated on smear campaigns against Mearsheimer, Walt, and an underage assault victim making allegations against Epstein—in the same week.
In March 2006, the Harvard Kennedy School published a working paper, “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” by influential political scientists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. The paper, which ran in the London Review of Books and became the basis for a book published the following year, was an unflinching analysis of the impact of pro-Israel advocacy and lobbying groups on the U.S. political system, and the role of organizations like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in shaping U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East.
Mearsheimer and Walt described a loose coalition of philanthropists, think tanks, advocacy groups, and Christian Zionist organizations that routinely pulled U.S. policy toward the Middle East away from America’s national interest, as the U.S. was being drawn into a military quagmire in Iraq. “Other special interest groups have managed to skew U.S. foreign policy in directions they favored,” Walt and Mearsheimer wrote, “but no lobby has managed to divert U.S. foreign policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. and Israeli interests are essentially identical.”

Even before the Kennedy School posted the paper online, the project had already spooked editors at The Atlantic, who originally commissioned the essay in the early 2000s. In an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year, Mearsheimer revealed that the editor of The Atlantic offered them a “$10,000 kill fee” if the publication didn’t print the article. Mearsheimer said, “That’s the fastest $10,000 we ever made.” ...
Unknown at the time, Jeffrey Epstein gave feedback on talking points to discredit Mearsheimer and Walt, and used his extensive social network to circulate allegations of anti-semitism against the two scholars. Details of Epstein’s role in the backlash to the “Israel Lobby” paper come from a trove of emails obtained by the non-profit whistleblower organization Distributed Denial of Secrets and provided to Drop Site News. ...
The behind-the-scenes campaign of subversion ironically affirmed the key tenets of the Walt and Mearsheimer paper. In other words, wealthy and well-connected men were deploying their financial resources and connections in order to undercut a paper claiming that wealthy and well-connected men were using their wealth and financial resources for the benefit of the state of Israel and against the interests of the United States.

Only 6% of Americans satisfied with Epstein files release, most say US government withholding information: Poll
Poll finds 2/3 believe government is intentionally holding back information, as Justice Department says less than 1% of files have been released despite legal deadline
A federal judge has shut down an effort by two House lawmakers to force the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to immediately release all remaining files related to Jeffrey Epstein, ruling that the court lacks jurisdiction to intervene.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a seven-page decision rejecting a request from Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to participate in the closed criminal case of Ghislaine Maxwell as amici curiae, or “friends of the court.”
Khanna and Massie had asked Engelmayer to appoint a special master to oversee the DOJ’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), a law they authored and that was signed by President Donald Trump last year.
The statute requires the Justice Department to make public all evidence gathered during decades of investigations into Epstein.
The lawmakers argued that without court oversight, the DOJ could not be trusted to release all required materials and suggested delays were politically motivated.
9 Democrats Voted with Republicans to Hold Clintons in Contempt of Congress
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability voted Wednesday to advance contempt of Congress resolutions against Bill and Hillary Clinton after the Democrat power couple refused to comply with lawful subpoenas related to the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
In a striking development, several Democrats, including members aligned with the party’s progressive wing, joined Republicans in voting to hold Bill Clinton in contempt, signaling growing pressure on the Clintons even within their own party.
Among the Democrats voting with Republicans were Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), both of whom are typically reliable opponents of GOP-led oversight efforts.
The committee voted 34–9 to advance contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton and 28–15 against Hillary Clinton.
